Chiropractic Care
What Is It?How Does It Work?What Does It Help?About Dr. Kelly Misener
The chiropractic healthcare system is based on the knowledge that the nervous system carries all the messages from the brain to every cell, tissue and organ of your body and back again. All the information vital for us to live long healthy lives flows through this system. When there is injury to the back, vertebra can come out of proper alignment. These misalignments, also known as “subluxations”, interfere with the messages flowing through your nerve system and result in pain and a loss of health, decreasing your quality of life.
The philosophy of chiropractic is that health comes from within the body, not from the outside. It is the innate, or inborn intelligence of our bodies, that does the healing.
Chiropractors are biomechanics. A chiropractor frees locked joints and restores normal nerve and muscle function through specific adjustments.
Over time, poor posture and unbalanced joint motion cause joint stress, breakdown, arthritis, and pain. Chiropractors help problems in the musculo-skeletal system (muscles, bones and joints) by re-aligning the positioning of vertebra. Pain is reduced when we relieve irritation and stress from nerves, muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
